site-specific project implementation. these are elements of the traffic-, and measures that have not been in including in a planning project. however, they have been evaluated in to the program, and they are identified in page 55 of the enclosure of the packet. the enclosure includes over 20 locations that have been prioritized in order and scoring order and the scoring methodology is shown on the next page of the enclosure. page 55 and page 66 gives more information on the site-specific information. we will implement measures as identified, and then go down the list for the available funds and implement as many measures as possible.
10:31 am
the early implementation, these are funds that are identified in the five-year prioritization program to implement projects from traffic, and plans that are currently under way. mta is working on them now. on page 123 of your packet there is an outline of the map of the traffic an calming plans that are completed and under way. there is an amendment requested this request to make the funds available to site-specific implementation. they are currently four planning-focus the implementation. this is part of the $1.8 million request.
10:32 am
by way of background of the traffic-bombing program, this is a very labor-intensive program. -- traffic clamialming programs, this is a very labor-intensive program. buy programs became full-speed ahead, so the traffic combinalm projects have lagged behind. we estimate the projects will need to schedule under the allocation request of july, 2012. this is for the most recent implementation pending from march 2010. >> on page 108 and 109 of our
10:33 am
packet, is that the list of items that will be funded? >> correct. that is the portion of the funding request from plan implementation. >> there are some districts that are not here that are left out, and at some districts are getting a look at the same amount. i am wondering if you can explain why this came about. i know this is 2, 3, 4. i am wondering if you can say something about that. to go as far as the implementation is selected, i know the projects are implemented in phases, but i will refer to mta staff. >> i know in district 9 and 8, one of the areas we have been focused on is san jose avenue
10:34 am
and the exit from the freeway, and we have been talking about them for a very long time. i am wondering if we could hear from mta on that. >> good morning, commissioners. the project's you see listed are related to completed area-wide projects. it is the nature of the work. and we do it by the severity of the issues we're dealing with. some districts either nation have a lot more traffic calming than others. some districts have more. >> is there an opportunity for any supervisor as this item moves forward to give you additional suggestion in terms of area where there is need for traffic calming efforts? >> certainly. we have an application process they can follow.
10:35 am
supervisor avalos: great. to the extent there are other items and three and four that are not here, it would be good and to have the supervisors have the opportunity to add this in. supervisor chiu -- commissioner to. -- chu: what i found confusing is what you are funded. i understand these are ripped the recommendations based on the work you have already done. so i am trying to understand in terms of the amount we are allocating today, what are we finding with that amount of money? if you could go with it through us until we are aware of the areas being covered.
10:36 am
>> the bulk of the money is to implement projects. that is what you see on page 108 and 109. these are generally large area wide areas that have facing involved with them. you can see which phase is being addressed by each project. then we also have $300,000 for site-specific projects. >supervisor chu: i guess if you could walk us through the areas that are relevant. this is implementation projects. if i look at page 108 and 109, does the implementation of all of these projects total to $3.2 million? take of the project on 108 and
10:37 am
one of the nine did not totaled $3.8 million. i believe it is something like 3.6. right. the way you see on page 108 and 109 is 413 $8 million. supervisor chu: what about the balance? >> we have $500,000 left. 300,000 is for site-specific projects. those are the sites that have been ranked according to problems. they did not fit into an area wide because beer spot locations. supervisor chu: where do we find those projects? >> on page 55. of the enclosure. supervisor chu: if so it is this document here that i am looking
10:38 am
at? ok. so that is worth 300,000? >> the $200,000 is to implement early improvements associated with current planning projects. >> we have area wide projects that are currently underway that are being planned. with the $200,000 would be allocated to is when you work with the community will often have early implementation. to maintain continuity, the $200,000 would be allocated so that when you finish planning, you can immediately go into implementation. that way we maintain that momentum of the projects. supervisor chu: my tongue mentioned desisting projects under way -- you might have mentioned existing projects that are currently under way --
10:39 am
>> there is a map on page 123 of the packet. it is navigating. 123. >> i think this is probably a more healthful walk through.

>> in a month or so we will be back in front of this committee for a committee that is addressing the off ramp to those -- san jose to see if we can restore it back when the freeway was damage. it had been one of your lane and extended. there has been a lot of neighborhood interest to bring it back to their original state. we look to see what it would take to do that. we're thinking there could be a way to bring in a bike lane as well to create a more multi model city -- facility. commissioner wiener: is caltrans involved? they have continually been
10:45 am
stumbling block. >> we have been coordinating with glen park. and the transportation folks to try to figure out exactly what would be feasible in our view and what we would ask for collectively and work on that. they are aware we're doing the study, and they have been somewhat involved. commissioner wiener: would hope, especially since compost and i both serve with caltrans -- compos and i both served with caltrans. and we have opportunities to really try to push forward. i am glad staff is working on that. >> our goal would be to apply for a grant to do the san jose design work. isupervisor campos: think that is great. the only problem has been given asking this for a number of years and have not had anything
10:46 am
happen. why don't we open up to public comment? if there is any member of the public that would like to speak on this item, please come forward. >> supervisors, you have had a number of people come here and speak. let me adjudicate this process. first and foremost, if you look at the speakers, and i can guarantee you the majority of the presenters do not live in san francisco, and here we are talking about $4,088,000, and this guy, if you look at how they present, the kind of focused on some moneys, grant monies that more or less will get them working. first and foremost, supervisors you will represent, you will
10:47 am
have to make sure, and you have to monitor the san francisco transportation authority and the metropolitan transportation agency, and i will be talking to ed reiskin, and as to jose, i do not know about that. maybe i can write an article about his leadership. that is the first thing i realized, we have all of this mickey mouse because they did not live in san francisco. they are and their salaries here in san francisco. on san bruno ave we have very heavy traffic. why should we, meaning the constituents, such an application, and have six or seven processes that are very convoluted? it is because we pay them thousands of dollars. they should make it simple.
10:48 am
and one single application that points to them that has heavy traffic and six or seven deaths, and action should be taken. very recently, and the district supervisor from district 9 should be aware of this because i sent him photographs and everything. for over a year and a half the paintings on the crosswalk were fatded. pibig pot hole. i do not know how nobody died there. until i brought it to the attention of our majoyor, ed reiskin, and copied it to a few others. thank god within 48 hours or 72 hours the problem was resolved.
10:49 am
we need just one application. once that is pointed in the direction of this agency, it is because we pay them to serve us. thank you very much. supervisor campos: thank you. >> run, run, run the bus motor. zing, zing, zing for these projects. the cash came and italy -- and did really well because you gave it the time. to the end of the line. and rum, wrong, wrong when the bus motor. dayan, ding, the cable car bell. andzingzing, zing, zing and the

he accommodated us. he accommodated the first people. you may think that they are building these ramps. you may think that you are
10:59 am
participating in the so-called civilization, lacking spiritually. we have to do right by the first people. i'm bringing this to the attention of the gentlemen who gave the investigation, and i think it would be appropriate that the hundreds of remains that are found be removed and some process is followed that some mention should be made of the first people on yerba buena island. it is an artificial island sinking every year. very prone to flooding. but yerba buena is the most but yerba buena is the most solid part -- also known as boat
